In this episode, I give a slight tour of the last dungeon I was working on! No, this dungeon isn't fully done yet at all, as there's tileset errors and balancing issues to be had on enemies and whatnot. So that's how it is...

Enemies:

Blue Mimic: Focuses primarily on magic-based attacks, while having low Defense and Attack. Uses a wide variety of elemental spells.

Red Mimic: Focuses only on regular attacks, as it's in Auto-Berserk which cannot be dispelled. Has insanely high Attack power and Speed, making it highly dangerous to deal with. Is not resistant to a lot of statuses.

Gold Mimic: Focuses primarily on status attacks, as well as possessing the best defenses of the three Mimics. Is mainly there to wear down the party's resources.

Bosses:

Tenshi Hinanawi/Medicine Melancholy/Yamame Kurodani: Medicine and Yamame are unchanged from their fight in Pandaemonium, while Tenshi is unchanged from her last encounter as well. They just have different stats is all, and it's possible to fight one of them, a combination of two of them, or all three of them at once. Or none, depending on the RNG.

I will not disclose other bosses until further notice! This will be the final video until I get more done on the game itself.

Sorry guys, might be quite a while before anything new shows up here. Having computer problems which is preventing me from doing much of anything. Constant blue screens (Memory_Management and IRQL_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSoD), and refusals to boot up comp (sometimes crashes even before Windows logo shows up at all, and when it refuses to boot up at all, the tower makes a weird sound that sound slike a fax machine) and all that. And it'll be months before I'll be able to get a new computer...I'm not looking forward to those months at all...;___;

Helepolis · « **Reply #242 on:** September 25, 2013, 05:45:49 AM »

New computer? Sounds like borked memory or your MOBO's memory controller, though I assume you already figured that out. If not, run Windows Memtest. Replace the faulty memory if it is your memory. If it is your mother board, things might be little tricky.

No need to get a new computer if memory fails.

Xenomic · « **Reply #243 on:** September 25, 2013, 05:48:20 AM »

I'll run that Memtest when I go to bed (the last time it took 11 hours for Memtest to get through 7 cycles...). Oddly enough, when I disabled MemoryFox for Firefox, nothing has happened. And when I reported a BSoD before, Firefox was the cause of the system crash. So that's telling me that something with MemoryFox must've been doing something to the computer. Of course, I'm not going to say that's it but...you never know.

I do need a new computer regardless though. This one is 5-6 years old as it is. ^^;;

Xenomic · « **Reply #244 on:** September 27, 2013, 07:59:04 PM »

Ok, ran Memtest throughout the night for 8-9 passes, and it found nothing wrong. Not sure what to say here now...

http://www.mediafire.com/download/w2slqusp5zjaday/Touhou_Fantasy_Update_1.115_(Patch_after_updating_with_1.114).rar

Managed to get a couple fixes fixed up due to map errors and new sprite updates (Fate and Chaos both got updated sprites). Originally, if you entered Eientei, you couldn't leave due to the original mapper who fixed the maps not fixing the teleport events. Now you can! If there's any other issues, do let me know immediately. I'll TRY to fix them if comp doesn't bluescreen on me for some random reason.

Xenomic · « **Reply #246 on:** November 11, 2013, 07:29:19 AM »

Don't worry folks! The game isn't dead (even though I'm sure some of you out there wish it were at this point)! Just been taking a long break from it (hey, I need breaks too! Plus mapping is plain boring!). Almost done with Hollowed Caverns finally, meaning I'll be able to move on with the actual game! Of course, there'll be another small break as I need to do more videos for LPs and such, but it'll still be worked on at the very least! Hollowed Caverns pretty much burned me out, as it's the largest dungeon in the game (the dungeon itself is around 20-30 maps, while the dimensional rift immediately afterwards is about 20 maps. Combine these dungeons with about 40+ treasure chests, there's a lot to find and get). No other dungeon, save for probably the final dungeon, will be this big (the biggest that any dungeon was supposed to be was 10 maps long, and this as well as Cave to Makai broke that rule massively).

In other news, I am looking for testers and critiques who are interested in helping out on the game to check for bugs and balancing issues, as well as those who are willing to give feedback and criticism on the game overall. Any help is appreciated, and any feedback as well! Anything to help make this game the best it can be~

Ambezua · « **Reply #247 on:** November 13, 2013, 02:41:45 AM »

I'd be willing to test it out ^_^" I'm new to the forums, but not to testing and checking for bugs/balancing issues.

Xenomic · « **Reply #248 on:** November 17, 2013, 09:47:51 AM »

Ok, so here's what I'm thinking of doing with some music:

*Removing all fanmade character boss themes, which includes the following:

**Cherry Flavored Justice ~ Descending Red (Rin Satsuki's Theme)
**Dead Buddist's Dream ~ Legitimite Partner (Myouren Hijiri's Theme)
**Fake History of Black and Shadow ~ The Fake (Sasha Sashiromiya's Theme)
**Gods Become Many Rivers ~ Toryanse (Sasaki Rinbokusans Theme)
**Phantasia of Fantasy (Rin Satsuki's Theme #2)
**Utopia in Fantastic Orbit ~ The Flower of Starry Nirvana (Karen Yawata's Theme)

The only ones that are "fanmade" that may stay are:

**Touhou Pocket Wars 2nd Ibaraki Kasen 's Theme
**Person of Mystery ~ Oni or Hermit (Kasen's field theme)
**The Kappa Way as Said ~ One Way Accelerator (Mitori's Theme) 2
**Momiji Inubashiris Theme ~ Awakening Wolfs Instinct

Both of Rin's themes MIGHT survive as well, depending.

Other songs that may be removed are:

**Child of Are (Akyuu's field theme)
**Defiant of Shrine Maiden boss theme
**Dream Machine ~ Innocent Power, Illusory Science ~ Doll's Phantom (Two boss themes for VIVIT. May just use Girl's Divinity and Velvet Maiden Battle instead)
**Dream of Eternity (Mima field theme)
**Faint Dream ~ Inanimate Dream (both versions, which may be replaced by TimeLimit's version)
**Flower of Past Days ~ Fairy of Flower (Lily White's boss theme. Reason being: ZUN's original track)
**In Regards to Fairy Brilliance (Star Sapphire's theme)
**My Maid, Sweet Maid (Erich's theme)
**One of the Riverside Views will probably go away
**Sunny Rutile Flection (Sunny Milk's theme)
**The Strongest Foe (Ys Boss theme)
**Youkai Back Shrine Road (Myouren Temple Theme #2)

Whether or not you guys agree with this, feel free to let me know! If you would like to know what arranges I have of these in the game thus far, or want to hear the songs (assuming I can find links to them at all) to decide, let me know as well! I am trying my darndest to cut down the music filesizes (despite that the ones that need cut the most are in the vanilla pack, and most of these aren't in the vanilla pack anyways). In fact, the Vanilla Pack may lose all of the unique boss themes save for a couple, in order to make the music filesize smaller for that, meaning if you want the unique boss themes, you'd have to get the Extended Packs for sure...

So, in light of my recent love for Fire Emblem, I am thinking of having a couple new accessories to the game: Dragonstone and Divine Dragonstone. However, I'm not sure how to make them both distinct accessories while not having the Divine Dragonstone simply be a super version of Dragonstone. As it stands right now, the idea is that Dragonstone would bestow Auto-Bravery (x2 Attack), Auto-Protect (x2 Defense), and Auto-Faith (x2 Magic), while Divine Dragonstone would bestow Auto-Bubble (x2 Max HP). I'm being recommended to make it so that only weaker units can use the Divine Dragonstone, but I feel that shouldn't be the case as I'm trying to reference how it really is in FE1/3 (and the other games it may appear in), mostly to how only Tiki could use it herself.

So, any ideas as to what the stones should do? Any Fire Emblem buffs around here to help out? Twould be great. ^^;;

Xenomic · « **Reply #250 on:** December 11, 2013, 04:52:12 AM »

Just dropping by to leave a note that I am reuploading the game to my Skydrive instead of Mediafire, as I've heard that Mediafire tends to delete stuff after a while. That, and I can upload each rar as one file instead of a bunch of separate files (I needed to reupload the music anyways...). The OST for the Vanilla Pack has been reduced to roughly 74 songs, about 313 MB worth of music. The Extended Pack is about 316 MB large. So there you have it! Hopefully I didn't forget anything? If I did, and some areas don't have music when they should, or fights don't play songs, let me know and I'll fix it!

New link to game files: https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=0445330af886aee8#cid=0445330AF886AEE8&id=445330AF886AEE8!150

Still need to figure out what to do with the Dragonstone accessories though...any ideas guys??

FortissimoBui · « **Reply #251 on:** December 11, 2013, 03:33:06 PM »

I'm willing to help test. Idk about the dragon stone. I don't play fire emblem....

Kimidori · « **Reply #252 on:** December 11, 2013, 04:39:10 PM »

The link does not work for me.

"This item might not exist or is no longer available"

Xenomic · « **Reply #253 on:** December 11, 2013, 08:01:57 PM »

What? You sure??? It should link right to the folder for the games...

Xenomic · « **Reply #254 on:** December 11, 2013, 11:33:10 PM »

Reverted back to using Mediafire, because for some reason Skydrive isn't working as it should. Bah...first post reupdated with old link. >__>

@FortissimoBui: Try the Mediafire link then on the first post. That should be everything you need (just need the update patch and Vanilla Music pack. You don't need Extended Music unless you want more variety in music. Also, get the CommandRTP and run that first if you haven't ever installed or played a 2k3 game before).

Xenomic · « **Reply #255 on:** December 16, 2013, 11:40:13 PM »

Once again, I come to you, forumgoers, for help on finishing my game. Details are as follows:

Details for Touhou Fantasy:

Production: 5-6 years in the making
Completion: 50%
Rough Current Gameplay Estimate: 30-40 hours (aiming for roughly 50-60 game hours for main game)
Maker: RPG Maker 2k3

For those interested as to what's left to do, or what's in the game entirely, the following is the current To-Do list in order of events in the game. Where the * is in the Beta5 section is where I'm currently at:

Spoiler:

So essentially, there's about 47 more events left to do. Still quite a few dungeons in general at that (some are going to be omitted. If you are willing to help on mapping dungeons, feel free to ask me).

What Needs Done Still:

Mapping: A rough estimate of 35 dungeons remain for the maingame. I am trying to keep maps for each dungeon, save for final dungeon, under 10 maps each. For more information about what needs mapped, contact me. In addition, some maps can use updates to make them look better.

Spriting: Unless someone wants to make a whole bunch of custom sprites to replace the Final Fantasy sprites, there's not a whole lot needing spriting. Mostly for the OCs such as Chaos, Hope, and Fate, and for Advent Cirno and Youki, and that's it.

Images: Only for the OCs, as there's no need for images for the Touhou characters. Images include concept art and face portraits.

Eventing: This I can probably do for the most part myself, but there are some things here and there that I wouldn't mind having help with, in particular things such as setting up and making sure puzzles work correctly, as well as game systems such as character abilities.

Beta Testing: Always looking for people interested in giving feedback and criticism on the game, as well as find out and test the game for bugs!

Again, if anyone is interested in helping, feel free to contact me! I am really REALLY wanting to get this game done and over with, as working on it (mostly) solo for 5-6 years has been rather taxing, and I really would like to finish this before doing any other games (in particular, I've been thinking of doing a Fire Emblem type game but...that isn't going to happen until this game is done!).

Why do I want to finish this? Well...aside from the aforementioned tired of working on it (mostly) solo for 5-6 years, I'm kinda done with Touhou in general. Lack of interest and all. Now, I COULD just abandon this game, but that feels like such a waste after spending so much time on it, and I hate leaving a good story to hang to dry and never be done, so I'm trying to wrap this up as much as possible. Post-game content may not be included at all due to this of course.

Xenomic · « **Reply #256 on:** March 06, 2014, 07:07:17 AM »

Just so you guys don't think I'm dead! Yes, I haven't really done ANYTHING in the past 2-3 months, but that's due to lack of motivation, and then suddenly playing a lot of Fire Emblem. Oh, and me falling out of Touhou kinda has something to do with it. But do not fear! I will still be working on this game to try and finish it! Main focus is on the mapping itself. This map up here is the newly revamped Misty Lake (the final area where you fight Cirno). Took a bit to get this looking right, and well...here it is! Now it's up-to-date (for the most part) with the rest of the game's maps!

This leaves SDM, Eientei, and Human Village in need of revamping. Once those are done, then I'll continue working on the actual story itself proper!

Xenomic · « **Reply #257 on:** March 07, 2014, 06:29:50 AM »

So...I finally think I got something worth using for revamping my mansion:

Old map

God...that default 2k3 tileset with just a few extra stuff never did settle well. But I never could find something to replace it. Until now:

New version of front foyer:

Close-up

Full view

Don't worry, the size of this map WILL get cut down. That, and some parts (such as the tall walls by the stairs) will get trimmed down too. Not sure how to handle the walls though if I were to extend the stairs to a second floor. I guess I COULD have the stairs go to another screen, but since a cutscene plays here with Remilia being on the balcony of the stairs then leaping down, that's not something I'm willing to change...any suggestions on what to do here? The lobby is meant to be more...circular, but outside of that, I'm not sure what else to do for the rest of the mansion. Like...how many rooms there should be or whatnot. : S

Kaitani · « **Reply #258 on:** March 07, 2014, 03:47:01 PM »

Hmm, I guess I'll wait until you remake Eientei to continue playing this again; unpleasant memories from my last playthrough kind of stopped me from leaving Bamboo Forest...

Xenomic · « **Reply #259 on:** March 07, 2014, 08:40:53 PM »

I'm still having issues with how to remake Eientei at all lol...not sure on what to do with that stupid place. >_<

Xenomic · « **Reply #260 on:** March 12, 2014, 01:57:26 AM »

Well, the Tewi Boo Ring is fine I think. That's probably the ONLY thing that's alright with the dungeon itself. Everything else? I'm not entirely sure...the 4 doors is meant to give some insight as to future events in a way (the Koakuma one in particular, with the upcoming Remilia fight, and then the Keine one hinting at Mokou. Suika and Forest Maze are kinda just there).

In other news, SDM front lobby FINALLY updated...my god...

A LOT spiffier than before. Just took an entire day to actually do since everyone at RPGMaker.net was yelling at me about it being too big and stuff. And then I finally split it into two maps, but now I'm not sure if that was a good idea. So, what do you guys think?

A) Merge the two floors together?
B) Keep them separate?
C) Use Instant Warp transition on stairs to switch between floors?

Since this is taken care of now, I can probably start fixing up the rest of the mansion. And guess what? There's going to be a lot of rooms now. Not really big rooms, mind you, but there's going to be more. Hopefully that's not an issue? ^^;

Xenomic · « **Reply #261 on:** March 13, 2014, 03:19:06 AM »

So, have some new screenies of other parts of the SDM!

Left hallway (bottom):

Ballroom/Living Quarters (whichever you think fits):

Still don't know what all rooms will be around. There's about 8 more rooms that can be put into the left hallway here. One of them (the one at the bottom right with the armor knight statues) will probably either be an art gallery or weapon gallery. If art gallery, I might have paintings be inspectable and show art from other games or something. If weapon gallery, will probably have sprites of weapons from other games (such as say, Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy) and place them in there for reference~

Kimidori · « **Reply #262 on:** March 13, 2014, 03:31:47 AM »

beautiful tileset for the SDM there, did you make them yourself?

Xenomic · « **Reply #263 on:** March 13, 2014, 03:35:54 AM »

I wish I COULD make tilesets lol. Would make things a lot easier. No, I got these specific ones from a friend of mine who randomly had a bunch of 2k3 tilesets. The one that was done for the ballroom/living quarters was edited by me by using other tiles from tilesets. For those curious, here's the tilesets that'll be used for the library and the basement:

Library/Voile:

Basement:

alucard13mmfmj · « **Reply #264 on:** March 13, 2014, 05:08:49 AM »

I want to do a video on this

Is there a most recent demo/beta?

Xenomic · « **Reply #265 on:** March 13, 2014, 05:12:02 AM »

You can generally find the most recent stuff in the first post. However, please note that if you use that version, you will not get the updated SDM/Misty Lake/Eientei at all, and will have to put up with the terribleness that they incur (and in Eientei's case, bugginess with the tileset due to incorrect tile placement). If you still feel like trying it with that version, by all means go ahead, but you've been warned~

Do feel free to post the video here too if you wish. I'd be interested in seeing it (especially if you have commentary in the video/have something to say in the description/etc.). Just note that the game is...pretty heavy on filesize, and you need the latest update patch (which is the actual game), CommandRTP (run this first before running the game if you've never played a 2K3 game or have 2k3 installed), and the Vanilla Music Pack(s) (Extended is optional but you can get that too). Any problems, feel free to ask.

Xenomic · « **Reply #266 on:** March 13, 2014, 11:57:22 PM »

Decided to just make this the living room/quarters. The ballroom will go to the southern door from the living quarters, the kitchen to the north (left side of the hallway that leads up), and a bathroom to the wooden door on the left. That'll be 4 doors out of 8 (well, technically 5 due to having the art/weapon gallery area). Not sure about the other rooms...maybe they can be bedrooms or something. I'm sure mansions have bedrooms on the first floor, right?

Yes, there's some event mapping going on. Yes, you can walk behind the top and middle of the potted plants. This is as good as I'm going to get this tileset I think (this uses the "town04_c" tileset from the Mack thingie that Liberty gave me, in conjunction with another tileset for the floors and walls).

Also of note, that indent is going to stay up in the upper/lower left. Looking around my own house, I see indents like that around here and there (that aren't cupboards or closets) so...

EDIT - Might as well add some new stuff here (man, it's slow here lately huh?)

Bathroom:

Kitchen:

Xenomic · « **Reply #267 on:** March 15, 2014, 12:49:37 AM »

New and exciting screenshots for the day! OH BOY!

Updated bathroom:

Kitchen (there is now a 4x3 rug in the center of the kitchen):

Updated Living Room:

Bedroom:

Updated Ballroom:

C&C is welcome. Anything wrong with the maps? Too big? Too small? Something doesn't look right? Let me know! It'll be nice to hear from guys outside of RPGMaker.net on these things! The last room for the left hallway is the "weapon gallery", which is going to be tricky since I'm not sure on how big it'll be, and I do want to show several weapons in there. Any suggestions on said weapons would be nice (LttP Master Sword WAS suggested, but it wouldn't look right in here sadly). Hope to hear from ya'll~ ^^

Kimidori · « **Reply #268 on:** March 15, 2014, 08:55:32 AM »

If all of the room you showed is used by Remilia, they look a little poor for a haughty, prideful vampire who is suppose to belong to the aristocracy class, I would imagine that her bathroom would have the size of a bath house with fancy decoration and statue around, the kitchen should be bigger as she host party frequently, and those bed in the bedroom just look like they belong to a ~~peasant~~ middle class person.

That's my opinion for them.

Xenomic · « **Reply #269 on:** March 16, 2014, 01:31:19 AM »

Yeah, kinda hard to work with with limited tiles really. This is the best I got. ^^;;

Some new screenies for the day. Still working on these, but I'm already done with the left hallway, working on the right. 4 more rooms on the right hallway left to do!

Weapon Gallery:

Patchouli's Room:

Kudos to anyone that can figure out what all of the weapons are! Try and guess, go on! For those of you curious, here's what each of them are!

Spoiler:

Originally was going to have another weapon gallery that'd be similar to FFV's Tablet room, where you'd have 12 weapons and needed to get "Tablets" or whatever to unseal the weapons to get. Was going to have each of the weapons in that room be the character's ultimate weapon. Not sure if I'll still do that or not (I don't have very many sprites I can use for each character...)...

Any suggestions for any rooms would be appreciated~ Also C&C is always welcomed! ^^
